I believe that PDT is being observed right now, rather than PST.Oh I mean current California time. Adjusted thank you. It’s PDT now. I think the conversions still work though. Please verify for yourself. Thank you!
This ain't a judgment on you, but I feel like we should just set a rule in this board that times should be communicated in GMT (or some other arbitrary time zone) just for clarity's sakeI believe that PDT is being observed right now, rather than PST.Oh I mean California time.

Is the PVD brass weight gonna be the same size, shape, and placement as the Alice?No it should be just a little bit longer. Also it screws in from the inside of the case.
The proto is printed right? Just checking, will the final product be solid pc? Probably a stupid question.yes
50 spots. Gotta go fast!Half of them are already claimed by the private slots. So, there are really only 25 fcfs spots up for grabs.

I need to time to compile and organize.
So I'm giving everyone else time too. Pay period extended 12 hours, so raffle will be held at 10:00 am California time tomorrow if there are unpaid invoices.

For everyone interested in following this project on Discord, I made a server here: https://discord.gg/zz3GkM (https://discord.gg/zz3GkM)
But I don’t like keeping updates in Discord because they can get lost in chat, and even pinned messages get missed. Forum format is kind of easier to follow as a timeline, so if I post updates in the Discord server it will likely also get posted here.
Picture uploads are just easier from my phone on Discord.
Anyone have any ideas for a wrist rest for this thing?A couple of the GB participants actually make really really awesome ones. And have for Alice as well. So expect that Rukia will have some support options too
may i have ONLY a rukia pcb?or get the open source files,or tell me where HOW i get them.I hope our conversation on Discord was a case of “lost in translation,” and not a case of you insulting me while asking me for something.

The files are open source here on geekhack, posted by Yuktsi himself.
There are other options that already exist, including the Lubrigante, projectkeyboard, and others.
I am also still working on another project in this form factor that you might have liked if I didn’t ban you for what I took to be an insult. The project will not be in such small numbers but will still maintain high quality standards.
I’ll post details in an IC thread in this coming week about that particular project. Please wait til then.
I appreciate everyone’s support for this project. My interactions with most have been pleasant and cordial.
As some are already aware, I had an unexpected death in the family. I’m still waiting on details and may take longer to respond than normal the next few days. But I will get to you with answers if you hit me up. Response just might be delayed.
Please rest assured that this is not me saying I’m dipping out or even taking a break from anything. I’m still around. I’m still reachable. I’ll still give updates on this and other projects.

Are you open sourcing the plates for this, or will are OG alice plates compatible?
https://discord.gg/eJrjdtg (https://discord.gg/eJrjdtg)This is excellent news. Glad things are moving smoothly. Thanks for posting major updates in this thread. Us non-discord users appreciate it :-* :thumb:
Link should be set to never expire and unlimited shares.
Other projects are also in the Discord.
Updates:
-Manufacturer paid.
-Notches added to align the top and bottom parts of the case.
-USB-mini only, so that it's still compatible with Alice PCBs and builds. Just drop in.
Any chance a second round of cases will be run after the first lot are completed?There will be the uhmw alice, which imo is a greater material for keyboards than polycarbonate which is set to run after this preliminary batch of pc Alice's are out, around early september.
I'm curious, are these being shipped yet? And Is there any spots avail if not?

Ok, so...this is what I put up on Discord just now...
I've been in a really weird place with work for a bit now. I've been up for promotion at work, working extra, and trying to make things livable, but today I finally got word:
I got the promotion, but the salary offer is.... not enough to really live on. I honestly thought it would be worth it to continue this job and do the keyboard business at the same time, but it really doesn't make sense to stay in a job that takes up so much of my time, is physically and emotionally exhausting, and inhibits from realizing my real passion and what I know I can accomplish.
What makes sense to me is to just go full-bore with keyboards.
What does this mean for you guys? What is my projected timeline?
Well, here it is so far....
I'll be speeding up the timeline on all current and upcoming projects.
Rukia will ship in September.
October will be a month-long campaign to get the final funds for manufacturing equipment.
By November, I'll be manufacturing Irma and two other boards--a 65% and a 75%--all in UHMW.
Those boards and all future boards will be available on my website on a made-to-order basis.
That means by December, before 2020, UHMW will be a reality in the community in regards to cases.
2020 will be the year of indestructible cases and lube-less switches.

Yes. Inside of the top case, looking at the LED area. I made the wells as big as possible to accommodate people like myself who only have giant LEDs at their disposal.What LEDs do I need to get for this?
hi - any update on the brass plates and when those will ship? thanks
Will there be ever r2 or nah?A alice in the uhmw material will be made soon by the same maker of this board.
Will there be ever r2 or nah?
Will there be ever r2 or nah?
I've gotten MANY requests for extras or a round 2.
UHMW is the next iteration, hopefully by the end of January.
But even knowing this, some still prefer polycarb.
I have that in mind, however, I haven't run an IC for R2 polycarb Rukia because I haven't yet fully delivered R1 and made sure that buyers from R1 are satisfied.
More important than that is if Yuktsi plans to run polycarb Alice. If so, I won't do another polycarb run at all. I'll be joining the real TGR GB.
If I run a R2 for polycarb it will be a group buy format in January. Lead time from the manufacturer will be 45 days. Delivery from me will be much more streamlined, learning what I did through this first GB.
For UHMW boards, I am about to launch a website for orders. At the end of January, I will have made enough injection molded "blanks" that you can order online and pick out your customization options. Orders will be fulfilled "made to order" this way, and I'm shooting for a turnaround of 1 week or less at first.
Online "in stock" availability will open and closed based on that turnaround. So if the website says "out of stock," I've reached my max capability to meet that timeline.
I'll announce in this thread and on Discord when the site is ready to launch and how many boards will be available for the first group of orders to test out how many I can turn out in a week.
I'm guessing I already know the answer, but were there any extras?
you know what it is brother :'(. But no worries R2 is gonna be somewhere end January :)
For Rukia R2, is it possible to offer alternate colors of PC for the case? Even a simple black might be nice for a choice, but translucent blue or purple would work super well for gmk vaporwave imo, and I'd personally pay extra for that.Colored polycarb would be tits!

A surprising amount of my day is spent answering messages about Round 2 of Rukia. This form is to get firm numbers on interest, not promise anything. My priority is finishing delivery of Round 1, getting UHMW production up and running, and making sure that my supply chain/logistics issues are fixed and as smooth as possible for upcoming projects.
Please fill this out. All ideas and critiques are welcome.
https://forms.gle/pE5PV8xDtxErkwuu9
Please understand that if I do an aluminum version of what is essentially an Alice clone (if aluminum is what wins out), I would want to offer something that is not easily available through Yuktsi or anyone else (examples: damascus steel weight, acid etched design all over top case, etc.)
Also, anything I make for the next round, if it happens, would be compatible with round 1 Rukia. Example: aluminum top would fit polycarb bottom for half poly build.
Also, please understand, if there is not enough interest, this is really not worth doing. GBs are hard. This is not my brain child--it's Yuktsi's with a twist. I'm working day and night on bringing UHMW to the community. And I'd like as much as possible to break free from the GB format. I much prefer selling in stock products.
I'm not saying it won't ever happen if replies are low, but if they are, it won't be anytime soon.

At 0000 GMT, I'll be posting a link for entry into the Rukia LE, called "The Child."
That's about 2 hours from now.
The link is for a 17-question Star Wars quiz.
Those who get 100% on the quiz (unlimited entry per email), will be emailed a scavenger hunt item.
The first 10 to reply to that email with a picture of themselves and the item or a timestamp (handwritten date + username/email) and the item will be sent the order form for the Rukia LE full green polycarb with Baby Yoda weight *shhhh.
Renders and pricing will be made known to the winners. They are free, however, to share as they wish.
